Area Sales Manager, Katrina Earl, visited Rocal’s headquarters in Brigg, North Lincolnshire to present Rocal’s Managing Director, Stephen Nadin, with an engraved trophy and a certificate to mark the occasion. As one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of composite and PVC-U panel doors, Rocal uses REHAU’s TOTAL70 system for the outerframes of all of its 18 DEC 2013 doors. The partnership between the two companies has grown and strengthened in recent years as Rocal has successfully expanded its product range. Key to the partnership has been the support of Katrina who even had one of Rocal’s door glass designs named after her when Rocal launched its popular Endurance range of solid core composite doors in 2004. Katrina said: “Rocal is a real success story with a fantastic commitment to quality and innovation. We’re always looking to support them with sales, marketing, technical and commercial advice and of course with great products and customer service.” Rocal has successfully expanded into internal doors, foiling and structural insulated panels for the holiday home market and is soon to launch a range of garden rooms specifically for the home improvement market. www.rocal.co.uk To read more, visit www.clearview-uk.com
